I asked a fundy friend of mine once..
"Since you are against abortion, what would you DO if your sister had an abortion"?.. She was stumped..
It's easy to moralize and fume & fuss over the actions of strangers, and how YOU would know better than THEY, how they should live their lives.. BUT..and it always comes down to this.. What would you actually DO when one of these thorny issues takes root in your own family?
Every family in America has/had a memeber or friend who is gay.. Every family in America has/had a member or friend who has "ended" a pregnancy (somewhere along the line) Every family in America has/had a member who has/had any number of vices that YOU disapprove of..
I always tell them that "It's not your JOB or the president's job to tell people how to conduct their private lives..
If someone comes up to YOU and tries to force you to do something , then that's different..
These folks are just plain old panty-sniffing busybodies.. They feel compelled to tell eveyone else how to live, but if it lands at their doorsteps, they want everyone to butt out :)
